- Description
- This is a synopsis for a competitive services acquisition as required by FAR Part 5.2. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. VENDORS SHOULD NOT SUBMIT FORMAL PROPOSALS UNTIL THE RFP IS POSTED TO THIS WEBSITE. This synopsis is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited. Additionally, no reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this synopsis or any follow-up information requests. The Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency (AFISRA) have been tasked to solicit for and award a contract for the Environmental Modeling Simulation Decision Aid Product (EDAPT) project. The work includes developing, enhancing, and modifying EDAPT to display and analyze worldwide observed and gridded meteorological data using Google Earth and other visualization tools. EDAPT will be an automated modeling system which will be structured to (1) facilitate upgrading its interface and architecture compatible with existing computing environment; (2) to efficiently organize the model results file management system; and (3) to incorporate advanced diagnostic for applicable transport and dispersion (T&D) models such as California Meteorological Model (CALMET), California Puff Model (CALPUFF), High Order Turbulence Model for atmospheric Circulation (HYSPLIT), and Second-Order Closure Integrated Puff Model (SCIPUFF). Majority of the work is expected to be accomplished at the contractor's facility. The contractor must be able to demonstrate the capability to provide the technical assistance and have knowledge and extensive expertise to include: a. Oracle database usage. b. The development of tools for the set-up and execution of multiple simultaneous transport and dispersion (T&D) model submissions with diagnostics to check for set-up and results errors and T&D model input and results manipulation software tools. c. Latest techniques for moving, gridding, and/or contouring large data files (multiple gigabytes) quickly, and for processing the spatial, temporal and ensemble results properties. d. Understanding and experience with all aspects of T&D models (e.g., interface, T&D, and Visualization) to include their data input requirements, execution, and analysis of output (e.g., CALMET, CALPUFF, HYSPLIT, and SCIPUFF). e. Software maintenance, data analysis, and evaluation techniques. f. Various programming languages, networking and operating systems software, programming and implementation on various computer platforms to include but not limited to Visual Basic, Linux Server and MS Windows platforms. g. Modifying various T&D models (i.e. SCIPUFF) to improve model run-times. h. Plotting software applications, such as Surfer9 and Google Earth. i. Maintain and control the software configuration baselines. j. Modifying and improving EDAPT as various components are modified (e.g., new weather data format); added (e.g., new T&D models); or improved (e.g., models run on Graphic Processing Units (GPU) cards vice Linux clusters). SECURITY REQUIREMENT: The prospective sources are required to have DoD security clearances of at least the SECRET level. Participation in this potential effort requires both a facility clearance and storage capability at the SECRET level. The prospective sources are required to support secure communication capabilities at the SECRET level. This acquisition will be conducted on a restricted basis, without set-aside.
